Wish I Was Wearing Wednesday: Mercury

December 18, 2013 / Erin Kys

If you know me at all you know how much I love dressing up, so it's no surprise that as I waited out the 2 1/2 hour process of getting my hair bleached and blued, my mind wandered to the glorious options now open to me for COSPLAYING.

I have a love/hate relationship with wigs. I LOVE them most of the time, but wearing them at conventions, especially in the summer, makes my head itchy and hot and makes me generally irritated.

I thought of how much my Ramona Flowers costume a few years back would have looked with my new hair.

Then I thought SAILOR MERCURY! I have recently started re-watching the Sailor Moon anime from the beginning and a few months ago I picked up my first Sailor Moon manga so the Sailor Scouts were fresh in my mind.

I like this little Disneybound-style outfit so much I may actually try to put it together for myself as a casual convention option for the future!

Wish I Was Wearing Wednesday- Superhero Soiree: Deadpool

Superhero Soiree: Deadpool by erinkys

The theme for my annual costume-mandatory birthday party this year is Superheroes.

It's safe to say I am VERY EXCITED.

There were so many amazing heroes that I considered dressing up as. I won't divulge yet who I ended up choosing but I can say that Deadpool was my runner-up.

Wish I Was Wearing Wednesday: One Day - Three Events

July 10, 2013 / Erin Kys

One Day - Three Events by erinkys

On Saturday I've got quite a full calendar. Geocaching, dinner reservations to EAT IN THE DARK, drive-in movie... (All items that will be crossed of my 27 before 27 list!)

I need an outfit that can easily transition between all three. A shirt with a pattern is a MUST when one can't see where the food is going. Shoes that can be worn to a casual dinner but also hold up to outdoor exploring. A bag that can hold essentials like lipstick, wet wipes, blotting paper and sunscreen. A cardigan *just in case* it gets chilly at night, or even in an overly air conditioned restaurant.

I think this outfit does the trick.

Wish I Was Wearing Wednesday: Stage Manager Swag

March 20, 2013 / Erin Kys

I've been involved in community theatre in my town since I moved back here almost 4 years ago but for the most part I've been on the stage. This play is my first time delving into the production team aspect of it and I am nervous but mostly excited.

I searched high and low on Pinterest for tips and tricks about stage managing and after reading countless memes about the tech crew in their all black attire, I headed for Polyvore for a little fun.
